Pirates: The Greatest Scoundrel in Navy History

Chapter 888

As the person who successfully deconstructed the bloodline factor, Vegapunk is definitely the one who has the deepest understanding and research of devil fruits in this sea.

As the leader of the Navy's science and technology forces, Borsalino is the person closest to Vegapunk, and from this short contact, Darren can see that Vegapunk and Borsalino have a good relationship.

In this way, Borsalino is naturally the person who knows Vegapunk's research on devil fruits the most, and is the first-hand contact with the information!

Coupled with his own "monster" talent, Darren has no doubt that this guy's attainments in the development of devil fruits are definitely not inferior to himself, and even better.

If this conjecture is correct, then what level of strength has Borsalino reached?

After all, Darren has not seen this guy go all out until now.

Relying on the powerful wandering ability and flexibility of the Shining Fruit, this bastard always presents a sense of ease no matter what opponent he faces, which really makes people unable to see through his bottom line of strength.

So let's be honest, regardless of other factors, Darren couldn't help but feel the urge to see the prey out of curiosity.

However, Darren estimated that with Borsalino's personality, this guy would never fight with him with all his strength, but would only play hide-and-seek with him by relying on the mobility of the fruit, and might even not run at all and surrender directly.

That would be meaningless.

The meaning of fighting would be completely lost.

"Really? I think you are still at ease, Borsalino."

Darren replied casually.

Borsalino shrugged, but his eyes moved slightly, and he didn't say anything else.

Seeing this, Darren stopped talking about this topic and turned his gaze to Vegapunk, saying in a deep voice:

"Dr. Vegapunk, I actually came here for another purpose this time."

Vegapunk took a few sips of coffee, which made him recover a little from the weakness of the domineering impact. After taking a few breaths, he smiled slowly:

"Mr. Darren wants to take me away, right?"

Darren was stunned, then narrowed his eyes and said:

"That's right, Dr. Vegapunk."

"A genius like you should never be restricted by the control of the world government, even your personal safety is threatened."

At this point, he subconsciously glanced at Borsalino.

"I am confident that I can protect you from leaving Egghead safely."

Borsalino saw Darren's eager eyes, raised his hands in surrender without thinking, and took a step back, saying with a funny expression:

"Your expression is so scary, Darren."

"If you plan to take Dr. Vegapunk away by force, I don't plan to stop you."

Hey, hey, hey, how about you stop him?

Darren couldn't help but twitch his mouth slightly.

But he thought about it, this is a good thing.

"Mr. Darren, you seem to have misunderstood something..."

At this time, Vegapunk laughed, he looked at Darren awkwardly, and then seemed to understand something, his eyes fell on Stussy.

The latter cast a worried and expectant look at him.

Vegapunk smiled and shook his head, saying softly:

"Little Stussy, it's okay, you don't have to worry about my personal safety... I can take care of myself."

He turned his head to look at Darren and smiled:

"Mr. Darren, I appreciate your kindness and am very grateful that you came all the way for me."

"Although I am now under the strict supervision of the government, in fact, in my opinion, this is the most "free" stage in my life!"

"Before cooperating with the government, my research in MADS was often troubled by funding issues."

"All kinds of concepts, inventions, ideas and creations have been declared failures because of the most realistic and helpless problem of funding."

Vegapunk sighed,

"To be honest, I've had enough of that kind of life."

"Joining the World Government... Although it is not the best choice, at least here I have obtained unprecedented funds and resources, and I can fully realize any of my ideas-even if some of these ideas are very expensive but have no practical significance."

Darren frowned, but sighed in his heart, without too many surprises.

With Vegapunk's wisdom and will, if he doesn't want to work for the World Government, there are definitely countless ways.

But in fact, from the moment he stepped into Egghead and saw so many epoch-making inventions and creations, Darren had such an idea in his heart...

——Vegapunk, I'm afraid notI am too willing to leave this place.

"But Dr. Vegapunk..."

Stusi bit her lower lip and wanted to speak anxiously.

Unexpectedly, Vegapunk waved his hand and interrupted her directly.

"Little Stusi, I don't know if you can understand my thoughts, but this is indeed my choice."

He smiled calmly and said:

"As Mr. Darren said just now, if life cannot be lived to the fullest, what is the point of living for a long time?"

"For me, although it is restricted to some extent, I am indeed realizing my dreams and meaning of life step by step, which is enough."

Stusi looked at Vegapunk's burning eyes and could no longer speak.

In this Egerhead, Vegapunk did lose a certain degree of "life freedom".

But at the same time, he also gained the freedom of "creation and research".

For Vegapunk, technology and research are much more important than his personal freedom and even life.

"What if I provide you with enough funds?"

At this time, Darren suddenly spoke.

Vegapunk shook his head and said:

"Mr. Darren, I know you have a lot of money in your hands."

"But the funds needed for my research are far beyond your imagination... Even if all the taxes in the North Sea are spent, I'm afraid it will be a drop in the bucket."

"Only the World Government, which controls the lifeline of the entire world economy, can provide me with such financial support."

"And the so-called research, in addition to funds, equipment, knowledge, talents, locations, environment... These are all indispensable and important factors."

He looked at Darren seriously and smiled:

"This is my destiny."

...

Darren and Stussy left.

Vegapunk has made his decision, and Darren has no good way.

After all, violence cannot be used.

But the good news is that, at least in the future, as long as Vegapunk does not do anything beyond the bottom line, the World Government will be more nervous about his life than anyone else.

"Military affairs are busy... Then I'll send you here."

Near the entrance of Egghead.

Borsalino said to Darren with a smile.

Darren paused, and suddenly a Den Den Mushi appeared in his hand.

The moment he saw the Den Den Mushi, Stussy's pupils shrank into pinholes.

"A monitoring Den Den Mushi used exclusively by the Five Elders!"

She couldn't help but exclaimed in shock.

However, what surprised her even more was that neither Darren nor Borsalino seemed to be surprised by the existence of the Den Den Mushi.

"This is the monitoring Den Den Mushi I found in Vegapunk's laboratory."

Darren threw the Den Den Mushi to Borsalino and smiled:

"Borsalino, aren't you afraid of being discovered by the Five Elders?"

Borsalino weighed the Den Den Mushi, shrugged, and turned back the way he came.
